love this metaphor for writing, and i've been doing the same thing for my writing sessions before heading to work! the timers have been helpful in reminding me to just focus on getting words down, and have helped me get out of my own way. thank you for sharing.
I've been feeling a little stuck, but this is a good reminder to take a step back and reassess my process. Location, timing, mindset, use of time, etc. I realize I haven't used my Forest app in a good while, so maybe it's time to get back to that. Thank you, Josee!
I'm glad this was helpful! Often I have to remind myself to take a step back too. We can get so caught up in go go go, that we don't always pause to think about what's happening and what we actually need. I hope you're able to make some progress after reassessing things!

I’m glad this resonated! Sometimes we just need to do something to get out of our own way and take some action. Timers are perfect for that!

I love the analogy of watching your son during his swim lessons, and your writing practice, and both taking some time to warm up at first.
Thank you!
